Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、液晶表示装置の液晶セル等の光学部品に、偏光板や位相差板等の光学部材を貼付するために用いられる粘着剤、およびそれを用いた光学部材に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶表示装置の液晶セル等の光学部品には、偏光板や偏光板と位相差板の積層体が貼付される。偏光板は、一般的にはポリビニルアルコール系偏光子の両面をトリアセチルセルロース系保護フィルムで挟んだ多層構造を有し、この偏光板の片面または両面のトリアセチルセルロース系保護フィルム上に、粘着剤層が形成されている。偏光板は、この粘着剤層を介して液晶セル等の光学部品に貼付され液晶表示装置として使用される。近年、液晶表示装置は、パーソナルコンピューターのディスプレイ、液晶テレビをはじめとする屋内用途から、カーナビゲーション用ディスプレイ等の車両搭載用途等にも広く使用され、その使用環境が非常に苛酷になりつつある。
【0003】
液晶表示装置に使用されている偏光板は、その材料特性から寸法安定性が乏しく、熱あるいは湿熱条件下で伸縮して寸法が大きく変化するため、このような条件下では粘着剤層の発泡や偏光板の液晶セルからの浮きハガレなどの問題が生じやすくなる。
これらの問題を解消する粘着剤として、アルキル基の炭素数が1〜12の(メタ)アクリル酸のアルキルエステルを主成分とするアクリル系ポリマーからなる感圧性接着剤であって、該感圧性接着剤が重量平均分子量10万以下のポリマー成分を15重量%以下含有し、かつ重量平均分子量100万以上のポリマー成分を10重量%以上含有するアクリル系ポリマーからなる感圧性接着剤が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0004】
前記感圧性接着剤を用いることにより、粘着剤層の発泡や偏光板の液晶セルからの浮きハガレは抑制できるが、偏光板の寸法変化による応力を吸収・緩和することができず、偏光板の周縁部に応力が集中するため、液晶表示装置の周縁部と中央部の明るさが異なり、液晶表示装置表面に色むら・白ぬけが発生する問題があった。
この液晶表示装置表面の色むら・白ぬけを解消する粘着剤として、重量平均分子量が100万以上である高分子量(メタ)アクリル系共重合体100重量部と、重量平均分子量が3万以下の低分子量(メタ)アクリル系共重合体20〜200重量部と、多官能性化合物0.005〜5重量部からなる偏光板用粘着剤が知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0005】
また、反応性官能基を含有する重量平均分子量100万〜250万の高分子量アクリル系ポリマーとガラス転移点が0℃〜−80℃の重量平均分子量3万〜10万の低分子量アクリル系ポリマーと架橋構造が形成可能な官能基を有する多官能性化合物からなる偏光フィルム用粘着組成物が知られている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
特許文献2には、該文献に開示されている偏光板粘着剤は、偏光板の寸法変化に追随できるため、液晶素子に色むら・白ぬけが発生しにくいと記載されている。しかし、特許文献2に開示されている偏光板粘着剤は、多官能性化合物と三次元架橋した高分子量(メタ)アクリル系共重合体中に、架橋しにくいか若しくは架橋しない低分子量(メタ)アクリル系(共)重合体を存在させることで応力緩和性を発現させており、色むら・白ヌケの改良は可能であるが、低分子量(メタ)アクリル系重合体がブリードしやすく、被着体が汚染される課題が残されている。
【0007】
また、特許文献3には、該文献に開示されている偏光フィルム用粘着組成物は、色むら・白ぬけが発生しにくい性能と低分子量アクリル系ポリマーがブリードし難い性能を併せ持つと記載されているが、より過酷な環境下での液晶表示装置の使用において、性能バランスを発揮させることが難しい。
そこで、本発明の目的は、熱あるいは湿熱条件下でも粘着剤層の発泡や偏光板のハガレ等が発生せず、偏光板の伸縮等により生じる応力集中を緩和して液晶表示装置に色むら・白ぬけ現象を発生させず、更には偏光板の張りなおし時に問題となる被着体汚染やヘイズを低減できる粘着剤を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明における粘着剤は、高分子量の共重合体(A)と、該共重合体(A)の存在下でカルボキシル基を有する単量体とその他の単量体をラジカル共重合して得られる低分子量の共重合体(B)と、多官能性化合物(C)とを特定の比率で含むことにより、偏光板の寸法変化によって生ずる色むら・白ヌケ現象を緩和する性質と、熱あるいは湿熱条件下でも発泡やハガレ等が抑制できる性質を併せ持つものである。
【0009】
すなわち、本発明における粘着剤は、下記単量体(a)および(b)をラジカル共重合してなる重量平均分子量100万以上200万以下の共重合体(A)と、該共重合体(A)100重量部に対して、上記共重合体(A)の存在下で下記単量体(c)および(d)をラジカル共重合してなる重量平均分子量1万以上10万以下の共重合体(B)20〜100重量部、および上記共重合体(A)および/または上記共重合体(B)と反応可能な反応性官能基を少なくとも2個有する多官能性化合物(C)0.003〜3重量部からなる粘着剤である。
(a) 反応性官能基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体
(b) (a)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体
(c) カルボキシル基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体
(d)(c)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体
上記粘着剤において、共重合体(A)を構成する単量体(a)の共重合比率は0.1〜15重量%であることが好ましく、単量体(b)の共重合比率は85〜99.9重量%であることが好ましい。
【0010】
また、本発明における粘着剤の製造方法は、下記の工程(1)〜(3)を有する粘着剤の製造方法である。
(1)反応性官能基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(a)および(a)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(b)を転化率50%〜90%でラジカル共重合して共重合体(A)を重合する工程。
(2)共重合体(A)の重合時に残留する単量体とカルボキシル基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(c)を共重合体(A)の存在下でラジカル共重合して共重合体(B)を重合する工程。
(3)共重合体(A)および/または共重合体(B)と反応可能な反応性官能基を少なくとも2個有する多官能性化合物(C)を添加する工程。
【0011】
上記の工程(2)において、共重合体(A)の重合時に残留する単量体とカルボキシル基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(c)を転化率70%〜100%でラジカル共重合して共重合体(B)を重合することが好ましい。
また、本発明における粘着剤は、上記の方法で製造される粘着剤である。
また、本発明における光学部材は、上記のいずれかの粘着剤からなる粘着剤層が、光学部材の少なくとも一方の面に形成されていることを特徴とする光学部材である。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
まず、本発明の粘着剤について説明する。
粘着剤に含まれる重合体(A)は、反応性官能基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(a)と、(a)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(b)をラジカル共重合して得られる共重合体である。反応性官能基としては、カルボキシル基、水酸基、アミノ基、アミド基、マレイミド基、イタコンイミド基、スクシンイミド基、エポキシ基等があげられる。また、単量体(a)および単量体(b)しては、(メタ)アクリル系単量体、ビニル系単量体が好適に用いられる。
【0013】
カルボキシル基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、(メタ)アクリル酸、β−カルボキシエチルアクリレート、イタコン酸、クロトン酸、フマル酸、無水フマル酸、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、マレイン酸ブチル等があげられる。水酸基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、2−ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、2−ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレート、4−ヒドロキシブチル(メタ)アクリレート、6−ヒドロキシヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、8−ヒドロキシオクチル(メタ)アクリレート、10−ヒドロキシデシル(メタ)アクリレート、12−ヒドロキシラウリル(メタ)アクリレート、(4−ヒドロキシメチルヘキシル)−メチルアクリレート、クロロ−2−ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレート、ジエチレングリコールモノ(メタ)アクリレート、カプロラクトン変性(メタ)アクリレート類、ポリエチレングリコール(メタ)アクリレート類、ポリプロピレングリコール(メタ)アクリレート類等が挙げられる。
【0014】
アミノ基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、アミノメチル(メタ)、ジメチルアミノメチル(メタ)アクリレート、ジメチルアミノエチル(メタ)アクリレート、ジメチルアミノプロピル(メタ)アクリレート等が挙げられる。
アミド基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、(メタ)アクリルアミド、N−アクリロイルモルホリン、N−置換(メタ)アクリルアミド、N−ビニルピロリドン等が挙げられる。
マレイミド基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、N−シクロヘキシルマレイミド、N−イソプロピルマレイミド、N−ラウリルマレイミド、N−フェニルマレイミド等が挙げられる。
イタコンイミド基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、N−メチルイタコンイミド、N−エチルイタコンイミド、N−ブチルイタコンイミド、N−オクチルイタコンイミド、N−2−エチルヘキシルイタコンイミド、N−シクロヘキシルイタコンイミド、N−ラウリルイタコンイミド等が挙げられる。
【0015】
スクシンイミド基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、N−(メタ)アクリロイルオキシメチレンスクシンイミド、N−(メタ)アクリロイル−6−オキシヘキサメチレンスクシンイミド、N−(メタ)アクリロイル−8−オキシオクタメチレンスクシンイミド等が挙げられる。
エポキシ基を有する単量体(a)の具体例としては、グリシジル(メタ)アクリレート等が挙げられる。
これらの単量体は、単独であるいは複数組み合わせて使用することができる。
共重合体(A)を構成する単量体(a)の共重合比率は、単量体の全量を基準として0.1〜15重量%であることが好ましい。その共重合比率が0.1重量%より少ない場合には、粘着剤の凝集力が低下し、加熱環境下で粘着剤の発泡や浮きハガレが起こることがある。また、15重量%より多い場合には、粘着剤の粘着力が低下したり、偏光板の伸縮に起因する応力集中を十分に吸収・緩和する性質が発現しにくい。
【0016】
また、単量体(b)の具体例としては、メチル(メタ)アクリレート、エチル(メタ)アクリレート、プロピル(メタ)アクリレート、n−ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、iso−ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、2−エチルヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、n−オクチル(メタ)アクリレート、iso−オクチル(メタ)アクリレート、ラウリル(メタ)アクリレート、ステアリル(メタ)アクリレート、iso−ノニル(メタ)アクリレート、シクロヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、ベンジル(メタ)アクリレート、メトキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、エトキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、フェノキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート等が挙げられる。また、スチレン、メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン等の芳香族ビニルモノマー、酢酸ビニル、(メタ)アクリロニトリル等も挙げられる。
【0017】
共重合体(A)を構成する単量体(b)の共重合比率は、単量体の全量を基準として85〜99.9重量%であることが好ましい。その共重合比率が85重量%より少ない場合には、偏光板や光学部品への密着性が低下する。また、99.9重量%より多い場合には、反応性官能基有する単量体(a)の含有量が少なくなり、粘着剤の凝集力が低下し、加熱環境下で粘着剤の発泡や浮きハガレが起こることがある。
【0018】
共重合体(A)は、公知の任意の方法で製造することができる。
例えば、共重合体(A)は、単量体の合計100重量部に対して、0.001〜1重量部の重合開始剤を用いて、塊状重合、溶液重合などの方法、好ましくは溶液重合法により合成される。重合開始剤としては、アゾ系化合物、有機過酸化物が用いられ、重合開始剤は2種類以上を併用しても良い。また、溶液重合の場合、重合溶媒としては、酢酸エチル、酢酸n−ブチル、酢酸イソブチル、トルエン、アセトン、ヘキサン、メチルエチルケトン等が用いられる。重合溶媒は2種類以上混合して用いても良い。
【0019】
重合開始剤のうちアゾ系化合物としては、例えば、2,2’−アゾビスイソブチロニトリル、2,2’−アゾビス(2−メチルブチロニトリル)、1,1’−アゾビス(シクロヘキサン1−カルボニトリル)、2,2’−アゾビス(2,4−ジメチルバレロニトリル)、2,2’−アゾビス(2,4−ジメチル−4−メトキシバレロニトリル)、ジメチル2,2’−アゾビス(2−メチルプロピオネート)、4,4’−アゾビス(4−シアノバレリック酸)、2,2’−アゾビス(2−ヒドロキシメチルプロピオニトリル)、2,2’−アゾビス[2−(2−イミダゾリン−2−イル)プロパン]等が挙げられる。
【0020】
また、有機過酸化物としては、例えば、過酸化ベンゾイル、t−ブチルパーベンゾエイト、クメンヒドロパーオキシド、ジイソプロピルパーオキシジカーボネート、ジ−n−プロピルパーオキシジカーボネート、ジ(2−エトキシエチル)パーオキシジカーボネート、t−ブチルパーオキシネオデカノエート、t−ブチルパーオキシビバレート、(3,5,5−トリメチルヘキサノイル)パーオキシド、ジプロピオニルパーオキシド、ジアセチルパーオキシド等があげられる。
【0021】
共重合体(A)の重量平均分子量は、100万以上200万以下であることが必要であり、更に120万以上180万以下であることが好ましい。重量平均分子量が100万よりも小さい共重合体(A)は、架橋して使用しても粘着剤の凝集力が不足して、発泡や浮きハガレが生じる。また、重量平均分子量が200万より大きいと、粘着剤の粘度が高くなり塗工等の作業性が劣る。なお、共重合体(A)の重量平均分子量は、共重合体(B)の重合を開始する前に反応溶液の一部をサンプリングして、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)測定を実施して算出する。
【0022】
粘着剤に含まれる共重合体(B)は、上記共重合体(A)の存在下でカルボキシル基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(c)および(c)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(d)をラジカル共重合してなる重量平均分子量1万以上10万以下の共重合体である。共重合体(A)の存在下で単量体(c)および単量体(d)をラジカル共重合してなる共重合体(A)よりも低分子量の共重合体(B)が粘着剤中に含まれると、熱あるいは湿熱条件下でも粘着剤の発泡やハガレ等が発生せず、偏光板の伸縮等により生じる応力集中を緩和して液晶素子に色むら・白ぬけ現象を発生させない。
【0023】
単量体(c)および単量体(d)としては、(メタ)アクリル系単量体、ビニル系単量体が好適に用いられる。単量体(c)の具体例としては、(メタ)アクリル酸、β−カルボキシエチルアクリレート、イタコン酸、クロトン酸、フマル酸、無水フマル酸、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、マレイン酸ブチル等が挙げられる。これらの単量体は、単独であるいは複数組み合わせて使用することができる。
共重合体(B)を構成する単量体(c)の共重合比率は、単量体(c)と単量体(d)との合計量を基準として0.1〜50重量%であることが好ましく、0.5〜30重量%であることがより好ましい。
【0024】
単量体(d)としては、共重合体(A)を構成する単量体(a)のうち、カルボキシル基以外の反応性官能基を有する単量体(a)、および単量体(b)を使用することができる。
共重合体(B)は、共重合体(A)の存在下で、カルボキシル基およびエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(c)および(c)と共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和二重結合を有する単量体(d)とを、共重合体(A)と同様な方法でラジカル共重合することにより製造することができる。共重合体(B)は、単量体(a)と単量体(b)を転化率50〜90%でラジカル共重合して共重合体(A)を重合した後に、残留する単量体と単量体(c)を共重合体(A)の存在下でラジカル共重合して製造することが好ましい。
【0025】
また、共重合体(A)の重合時に残留する単量体と単量体(c)とは、転化率70〜100%でラジカル共重合することが好ましい。ここで転化率とは、単量体を重合して得られる共重合体の重量を、原料として用いた単量体の総重量で除した値である。
上記の転化率で共重合体(A)および共重合体(B)を重合することにより、共重合体(A)100重量部に対して共重合体(B)を20〜100重量部の範囲に収めることが容易となる。
【0026】
共重合体(B)は、溶液重合法で合成することが好ましく、重合体(A)合成時の5〜50重量倍程度の重合開始剤、すなわち単量体の合計100重量部に対して、0.005〜50重量部の重合開始剤を使用することが好ましい。また、共重合体(B)の合成時には、ラウリルメルカプタン、n−ドデシルメルカプタン等のメルカプタン類、α−メチルスチレンダイマー、リモネン等の連鎖移動剤を使用しても良い。
【0027】
共重合体(B)の重量平均分子量は、1万以上10万以下であることが必要であり、更に2万以上5万以下であることが好ましい。重量平均分子量が1万より小さい共重合体(B)を用いる場合には、凝集力が不足して発泡や浮きハガレが生じやすい。また、重量平均分子量が10万を超える共重合体(B)を用いる場合には、偏光板の伸縮に起因する応力集中を十分に吸収・緩和する性質が発現しにくい。ここで共重合体(B)の重量平均分子量は、共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の混合物をGPC測定し、得られたGPCスペクトルと前述の方法で測定した共重合体(A)のGPCスペクトルとの差スペクトルから算出する。
【0028】

【0029】
共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の重量比は、以下の方法で求められる。すなわち、まず、重合体(B)の重合を開始する前にサンプリングした溶液の一定量を重量既知の容器に入れて精秤し、この精秤した溶液を加熱乾燥して、共重合体以外の成分を揮散させ、共重合体(A)のみが残った容器を精秤し、一定量の溶液に含まれる共重合体(A)の重量を算出する。次に共重合体(B)の重合完了後に、共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)が含まれる溶液をサンプリングし、共重合体(A)の重量を算出したときと同様の方法で、一定量の溶液に含まれる共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の重量を算出する。そして一定量の溶液に含まれる共重合体(A)および共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の混合物の重量を、同量の溶液に含まれる共重合体(A)および共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の混合物の重量に換算し、共重合体(A)と共重合体(B)の混合物の重量から共重合体(A)を差し引くことにより、共重合体(B)の重量を算出する。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an adhesive used for attaching an optical member such as a polarizing plate or a retardation plate to an optical component such as a liquid crystal cell of a liquid crystal display device, and an optical member using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A polarizing plate or a laminate of a polarizing plate and a retardation plate is attached to an optical component such as a liquid crystal cell of a liquid crystal display device. A polarizing plate generally has a multilayer structure in which both surfaces of a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer are sandwiched between triacetyl cellulose-based protective films, and an adhesive is provided on one or both surfaces of the triacetyl cellulose-based protective film. A layer is formed. The polarizing plate is attached to an optical component such as a liquid crystal cell through the adhesive layer and used as a liquid crystal display. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, liquid crystal display devices have been widely used in indoor applications such as displays of personal computers and liquid crystal televisions, as well as in on-vehicle applications such as car navigation displays, and their use environments are becoming extremely harsh.
[0003]
Polarizing plates used in liquid crystal display devices have poor dimensional stability due to their material properties, and expand or contract under heat or wet heat conditions, resulting in large changes in dimensions. Problems such as peeling of the polarizing plate from the liquid crystal cell are likely to occur.
As a pressure-sensitive adhesive for solving these problems, there is provided a pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising an acrylic polymer mainly containing an alkyl ester of (meth) acrylic acid having an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, the pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising There is known a pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising an acrylic polymer in which an agent contains 15% by weight or less of a polymer component having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 or less and 10% by weight or more of a polymer component having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
[0004]
By using the pressure-sensitive adhesive, foaming of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and peeling of the polarizing plate from floating from the liquid crystal cell can be suppressed, but the stress due to the dimensional change of the polarizing plate cannot be absorbed / relaxed, and the polarizing plate cannot be used. Since the stress is concentrated on the peripheral portion, the brightness of the peripheral portion and the central portion of the liquid crystal display device are different from each other, and there has been a problem that color unevenness and whitening occur on the surface of the liquid crystal display device.
As an adhesive for eliminating color unevenness and whitening on the surface of the liquid crystal display device, 100 parts by weight of a high molecular weight (meth) acrylic copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more, and a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 or less are used. 2. Description of the Related Art A pressure-sensitive adhesive for a polarizing plate comprising 20 to 200 parts by weight of a low molecular weight (meth) acrylic copolymer and 0.005 to 5 parts by weight of a polyfunctional compound is known (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0005]
Further, a high molecular weight acrylic polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 to 2.5 million containing a reactive functional group and a low molecular weight acrylic polymer having a glass transition point of 0 ° C to -80 ° C and a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 to 100,000 2. Description of the Related Art An adhesive composition for a polarizing film comprising a polyfunctional compound having a functional group capable of forming a crosslinked structure is known (for example, see Patent Document 3).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Patent Document 2 describes that since the polarizing plate adhesive disclosed in the document can follow the dimensional change of the polarizing plate, color unevenness and white spots hardly occur in the liquid crystal element. However, the polarizing plate pressure-sensitive adhesive disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a low molecular weight (meth) which is hardly crosslinked or does not crosslink in a high molecular weight (meth) acrylic copolymer three-dimensionally crosslinked with a polyfunctional compound. The presence of an acrylic (co) polymer expresses stress relaxation, and can improve color unevenness and white spots, but low molecular weight (meth) acrylic polymers easily bleed and adhere The problem of body contamination remains.
[0007]
Further, Patent Document 3 describes that the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film disclosed in the document has both a property that color unevenness and whitening hardly occur and a property that a low molecular weight acrylic polymer is hard to bleed. However, in using the liquid crystal display device in a more severe environment, it is difficult to achieve a balance of performance.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer from foaming or peeling off the polarizing plate even under heat or wet heat conditions, to reduce stress concentration caused by expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive that does not cause whitening and that can reduce adherent contamination and haze, which are problems when the polarizing plate is repositioned.

As the monomer (a) and the monomer (b), (meth) acrylic monomers and vinyl monomers are preferably used.
[0013]

The copolymerization ratio of the monomer (a) constituting the copolymer (A) is preferably 0.1 to 15% by weight based on the total amount of the monomer. If the copolymerization ratio is less than 0.1% by weight, the cohesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is reduced, and foaming or floating peeling of the pressure-sensitive adhesive may occur in a heating environment. On the other hand, when the content is more than 15% by weight, it is difficult to exhibit the property of reducing the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive and sufficiently absorbing and relaxing the stress concentration caused by the expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate.
[0016]

[0017]
The copolymerization ratio of the monomer (b) constituting the copolymer (A) is preferably 85 to 99.9% by weight based on the total amount of the monomer. If the copolymerization ratio is less than 85% by weight, the adhesion to a polarizing plate or an optical component decreases. On the other hand, when the content is more than 99.9% by weight, the content of the monomer (a) having a reactive functional group decreases, the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive decreases, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive foams and floats under a heating environment. Peeling may occur.
[0018]
The copolymer (A) can be produced by any known method.
For example, the copolymer (A) is prepared by using a polymerization initiator in an amount of 0.001 to 1 part by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of a total of monomers, by a method such as bulk polymerization or solution polymerization, and preferably by a solution weight. Synthesized by law. As the polymerization initiator, an azo compound or an organic peroxide is used, and two or more polymerization initiators may be used in combination. In the case of solution polymerization, as a polymerization solvent, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, toluene, acetone, hexane, methyl ethyl ketone and the like are used. Two or more polymerization solvents may be used in combination.
[0019]
Examples of the azo compound among the polymerization initiators include, for example, 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis (2-methylbutyronitrile), 1,1′-azobis (cyclohexane 1- (Carbonitrile), 2,2′-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2′-azobis (2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile), dimethyl 2,2′-azobis (2- Methylpropionate), 4,4′-azobis (4-cyanovaleric acid), 2,2′-azobis (2-hydroxymethylpropionitrile), 2,2′-azobis [2- (2-imidazoline) -2-yl) propane].

Examples include peroxydicarbonate, t-butylperoxyneodecanoate, t-butylperoxybivalate, (3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide, dipropionyl peroxide, diacetyl peroxide and the like.
[0021]
The weight average molecular weight of the copolymer (A) needs to be 1,000,000 or more and 2,000,000 or less, and more preferably 1.2M or more and 1.8M or less. The copolymer (A) having a weight-average molecular weight of less than 1,000,000 is insufficient in cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive even when used in a crosslinked state, and causes foaming and floating peeling. On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight is more than 2,000,000, the viscosity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive becomes high, and the workability such as coating is poor. The weight average molecular weight of the copolymer (A) is determined by sampling a part of the reaction solution before starting the polymerization of the copolymer (B) and performing gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement. calculate.
[0022]
The copolymer (B) contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be copolymerized with the monomers (c) and (c) having a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in the presence of the copolymer (A). It is a copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and 100,000 or less obtained by radically copolymerizing another monomer (d) having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond. The copolymer (B) having a lower molecular weight than the copolymer (A) obtained by radical copolymerization of the monomer (c) and the monomer (d) in the presence of the copolymer (A) is used as an adhesive. When it is contained therein, foaming or peeling of the pressure-sensitive adhesive does not occur even under heat or moist heat conditions, stress concentration caused by expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate is relieved, and color unevenness and whitening phenomenon do not occur in the liquid crystal element.
[0023]
As the monomer (c) and the monomer (d), (meth) acrylic monomers and vinyl monomers are suitably used. Specific examples of the monomer (c) include (meth) acrylic acid, β-carboxyethyl acrylate, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, fumaric acid, fumaric anhydride, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, butyl maleate and the like. Can be These monomers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The copolymerization ratio of the monomer (c) constituting the copolymer (B) is 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the total amount of the monomer (c) and the monomer (d). And more preferably 0.5 to 30% by weight.
[0024]
As the monomer (d), among the monomers (a) constituting the copolymer (A), a monomer (a) having a reactive functional group other than a carboxyl group and a monomer (b) ) Can be used.
The copolymer (B) is, in the presence of the copolymer (A), a monomer having a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated double bond (c) and another ethylenic copolymerizable with (c). The monomer (d) having an unsaturated double bond can be produced by radical copolymerization in the same manner as in the copolymer (A). The copolymer (B) is obtained by radically copolymerizing the monomer (a) and the monomer (b) at a conversion of 50 to 90% to polymerize the copolymer (A), and the remaining monomer And the monomer (c) are preferably produced by radical copolymerization in the presence of the copolymer (A).
[0025]
Further, it is preferable that the monomer remaining during the polymerization of the copolymer (A) and the monomer (c) undergo radical copolymerization at a conversion of 70 to 100%. Here, the conversion is a value obtained by dividing the weight of the copolymer obtained by polymerizing the monomer by the total weight of the monomer used as a raw material.
By polymerizing the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) at the above conversion, the copolymer (B) is in a range of 20 to 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer (A). It becomes easy to fit in.
[0026]
It is preferable that the copolymer (B) is synthesized by a solution polymerization method. It is preferable to use 0.005 to 50 parts by weight of a polymerization initiator. When synthesizing the copolymer (B), mercaptans such as lauryl mercaptan and n-dodecyl mercaptan, and chain transfer agents such as α-methylstyrene dimer and limonene may be used.
[0027]
The weight average molecular weight of the copolymer (B) needs to be 10,000 or more and 100,000 or less, and more preferably 20,000 or more and 50,000 or less. When a copolymer (B) having a weight average molecular weight of less than 10,000 is used, the cohesive force is insufficient and foaming and floating peeling are likely to occur. When a copolymer (B) having a weight average molecular weight of more than 100,000 is used, a property of sufficiently absorbing and relaxing stress concentration caused by expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate is hardly exhibited. Here, the weight average molecular weight of the copolymer (B) is determined by measuring the mixture of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) by GPC, and obtaining the obtained GPC spectrum and the copolymer ( It is calculated from the difference spectrum from the GPC spectrum of A).
[0028]
The content of the copolymer (B) contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive is 20 to 100 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer (A). When the content of the copolymer (B) is less than 20 parts by weight, the property of sufficiently absorbing and relaxing the stress concentration caused by the expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate is hardly exhibited. When the content of the copolymer (B) is more than 100 parts by weight, the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is insufficient, and foaming and floating peeling are likely to occur.
[0029]
The weight ratio of the copolymer (A) to the copolymer (B) is determined by the following method. That is, first, a certain amount of the solution sampled before the polymerization of the polymer (B) is started is precisely weighed in a container having a known weight, and the precisely weighed solution is heated and dried to obtain a solution other than the copolymer. The components are volatilized, the container in which only the copolymer (A) remains is precisely weighed, and the weight of the copolymer (A) contained in a certain amount of the solution is calculated. Next, after the polymerization of the copolymer (B) is completed, a solution containing the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) is sampled, and a method similar to that used when the weight of the copolymer (A) is calculated. Then, the weights of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) contained in a certain amount of the solution are calculated. Then, the weight of the copolymer (A) and the mixture of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) contained in the fixed amount of the solution is reduced by the weight of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer The weight of the mixture of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) is converted to the weight of the mixture, and the copolymer (A) is subtracted from the weight of the mixture of the copolymer (A) and the copolymer (B) to obtain a copolymer. The weight of the combination (B) is calculated.

Examples of such a polyfunctional compound include an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound, an amine compound, a metal chelate compound, and an aziridine compound. In particular, isocyanate compounds, epoxy compounds, and aziridine compounds are preferred. The polyfunctional compounds can be used alone or in combination.

[0034]
The content of the polyfunctional compound (C) is 0.003 to 3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer (A). If the content of the polyfunctional compound (C) is less than 0.003 parts by weight, the cohesive force of the colorant is insufficient, and foaming and floating peeling are likely to occur. When the amount is more than 3 parts by weight, the property of sufficiently absorbing and relaxing the stress concentration caused by the expansion and contraction of the polarizing plate is hardly exhibited.
[0035]
It is preferable to mix a silane coupling agent with the adhesive.

[0036]
The content of the silane coupling agent in the adhesive is preferably 0.01 to 2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the copolymer (A). If the amount is less than 0.01 part by weight, the effect of improving the physical properties is poor, and if it exceeds 2 parts by weight, the pressure-sensitive adhesive becomes not only expensive but also causes floating peeling.
Further, an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, a tackifier resin, a plasticizer, an antifoaming agent, and a leveling regulator may be added to the adhesive.
